In the late 1980’s, Jana was working with individuals with dual diagnosis in an outpatient program when the federal government mandated drug and alcohol testing in the transportation industry. It was a natural flow for Jana to become involved in the workplace drug testing arena. She joined a small company based in Wyoming whose focus was the railroad industry. She started as a collector in the field and quickly rose to a management position. In this position she established a network of collectors from the West Coast to the Mississippi River, and worked closely with railroad management in ensuring that they were in compliance with the new Federal regulations. In 2000, Jana, with business partner Scott Belford, formed Alcohol & Drug Testing Services, LLC in Las Vegas, Nevada.
